Over the past 5 days I have been fulfilling one of my civil duties and have been a jury member for a criminal court case. It was a stimulating, demanding and interesting experience. As in 12 Angry Men the verdict was not unanimous, so we had to be empaneled for one day to deliberate, analyse and synthesise the evidence and to debate the validity, accuracy and creditability of the witnesses. As the elected forperson I also had the responsibility of chairing our discussions and to deliver the verdict. The experience was a juxtaposition between being very intense and surreal and it is strange to know that you might never met again the people with whom you shared this intense experience with.
